ÃÛÑ¿app

I joined ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity in 2019 after almost 10 years working at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. While at Georgetown, I was director of communications, overseeing a team responsible for all editorial, creative and social media content for the school. I was also responsible for communications strategy and execution in the lead-up to the school's Centennial, earning a President's Excellence Award. Prior to that, I managed content for HomeAdvisor (previously ServiceMagic), a tech company based in Denver. I earned my master's degree in Communications, Culture and Technology from Georgetown University and have a Bachelor of Science in Magazine Journalism from Ohio University.

I transitioned from the public relations industry to ÃÛÑ¿appin 2012, hired as a full-time public relations faculty member. I teach undergraduate and graduate classes and serve as the co-chair of the school's Diversity and Globalization Committee. I also serve as the coordinator of Flash Communications, managing students who work side-by-side with our professionals to craft stories for internal and external clients and publications like ÃÛÑ¿appToday, staff university events, and manage branding for Flash Comm. Prior to joining Kent State, I worked in the industry managing social media, mobile and web project development, and podcasting for a variety of consumer, state and healthcare clients. Originally from Pennsylvania (go, Penguins!), I moved to Ohio in 2004 after a year in Alaska.

I joined ÃÛÑ¿appUniversity’s Division of University Communications and Marketing in May of 2023, after 20 years in the media and publishing industries. I have the great pleasure of working with a wide variety of inspiring, creative and talented individuals across our content, creative and marketing teams. I’m also very proud to be an alumna of Kent State. I have a bachelor of arts in English and a minor in creative writing and continue to take classes when I can, in pursuit of being a lifelong learner.
